That is indeed one of the many stories to have been told - and why she (XH558) was christened "The Spirit of Great Britain" since it sums up quite nicely, the pure BRITISH BULLDOG SPIRIT of GRIT, DETERMINATION AND DRIVE to succeed against all the odds!

It was written in all the Magazine advertising we did too - and is still being used now!

This posting was a direct reference to the Jersey Television interview which stated we "had three weeks money left" in my opinion the statement should not have been made...

Generally the Trust is accused of not being open enough! Then when they are, that upsets people too - they really cannot win. At the time they did only have 3 weeks worth of funding remaining. It's since been squeezed a bit further thanks to the Club and a few others contributing. When do you suggest people were told they were almost out of money? Should the Trust have left it to their administrators to tell us?!

It one thing giving information it is another pressing the panic button again and again.....

Not wishing to sound funny, but we're told about numerous very expensive adverts in many mags/papers etc.... in the several years I've been a Vulcan fanatic, I'm yet to see a single advert for the cause. Being a relatively skint member of the working class, I'm wondering how many people said adverts actually target, and what publications they appear in? If I'm on the constant lookout for 558 related ads and can't find any, what about those who are unaware of the current dilemma?

Government. If you think the problems they create are bad, you should see their solutions.

Bear in mind that Jack Hayward saved us 2 years ago and then shortly afterwards had died, last winter we were saved by an anonymous bequest. Perhaps Saga is the correct magazine .....

Noe to Forum Police This comment is not meant in bad taste but in a light hearted manner.

Sir Jack isn't dead though, so don't know how light hearted he'd find it! And he saved us in 06, so 4 years ago.

Sort of nackers my point. Sorry Sir Jack if you're reading this although I suspect you're not :-). He stepped down as Wolves President shortly afterwards and I thought I read that he'd died. He's only 87 so will undoubtedly outlive XH558s flying career.
